Grella heading to Columbus to save the crew

It’s a bit difficult to read when you have a Long Island local that was brought back from Europe when no one else wanted him three years ago. Not just a player from your academy from the past, but played for Leeds in England.

But today we say goodbye or Arrivederci to Mike Grella as he was picked up in the 1st round of the Re-Entry Draft by the Colorado Rapids and heads over to a side that is hungry to make a big playoff push in the Western Conference, then traded to the Columbus Crew

"On behalf of everyone at the New York Red Bulls, I'd like to thank Mike for his service to the club," said Red Bulls Sporting Director Denis Hamlett.
